Horse Race

Famous quotes containing the words horse and/or race:

    What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse
    and his rider.
    Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
    Bible: Hebrew Job (l. XXXIX, 17–19)

    ‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
    Taught my benighted soul to understand
    That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
    Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
    Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
    “Their color is a diabolic die.”
    Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
    May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.
    Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753–1784)
